  1. Pie Plot of Total Game Sales about Different Areas In this graph, North America has the largest sales of video games among the three areas and has more than 50%. While Japan is the least one which has about 16%. However, the three areas account for most of the sales around the world.

  2. Bar plot About Total Global Sales of Different Platforms This bar graph shows global sales of different games from different platforms. PS series from SONY is most popular game console as we can see from the graph. XBOX 360 form Microsoft also did a good job, which only be defeated by PS2. Besides, Wiuu and DS from Nintendo also win a good performance.

  3. Boxplot of Sales of Three Big Companies In this part, I mainly compare the games sales from the three big companies: SONY, Microsoft and Nintendo between different areas. For all the three areas, games from Nintendo are most popular, I believe everyone like Mario and Pokémon. While games from Microsoft are more popular among North America and Europe, Japanese loves Sony’s games.

The sales of games in this data reach the peak in 2008 and 2009, while decreased in the following years, maybe the data for recent year is not complete, I will continue paying attention when the data get updated.
